    I have a tongue issues which five different doctors have decided is geographic tongue, and told me it will go away “in a couple of weeks”. The last two times I heavily prefaced adding “Before I get into it, it’s OK to say you don’t know, but don’t tell me it will go away in a couple of weeks because it’s been over ten years.” Both times as soon as they saw my tongue they cut me off with a “it will go away in a couple of weeks” and refused to discuss it further.

      You know what? There’s this thing called AI…and it somehow cares more than an actual human.

      The fuck we need meatbags for anymore?

      That’s usually related to vitamin deficiencies, have you been screened for that at all? Doctors tend to skip over vitamin deficiencies

          I’m sorry, are you saying they haven’t brought it up before? Maybe do some of your own research and try supplementing the vitamins listed or eating foods with thise vitamins in them. My word, it’s like a classic symptom of B3 deficiency among others, I’m so sorry no one has told you. It’s literally the first thing they are supposed to give you, are vitamins, to treat that and see how it responds.
